<p>“Reading Days” is UVa terminology for the Fall Break.</p>

<p>Yes, Reading Days are the days the students do not have regular class in October prior to mid-terms to study. Many take advantage of this time to go home for an extended weekend. You’ll also see the term used in December and May, after last class as any day finals are not scheduled. Essentially a study day.</p>
